Reacquired Stock [Abstract]
Reacquired Stock [Text Block]	Reacquired Stock Effective January 1, 2011, we changed the accounting presentation for reacquired capital stock to be consistent with Maryland law (Maryland is FelCor's domicile), which does not contemplate treasury stock. FelCor removed previously reacquired capital stock shown as treasury stock from its balance sheet and recorded the related amounts as a reduction of common stock (at $0.01 par value per share) and an increase in accumulated deficit. Prior to 2011, FelCor's accounting records included treasury stock. This change in accounting policy was recorded for book purposes as a retirement of treasury stock. Any capital stock reacquired in the future for any purpose will be recorded as a reduction of common stock (at $0.01 par value per share) and an increase in accumulated deficit.
